Sorry for the long delay between posts, between the Gartner Symposium and Data Center conferences I have been busy presenting and meeting with clients. I have been hard at work with several research items, look for upcoming research in the Network Performance Monitoring space, with a specific focus on VoIP and unified communications monitoring and management.

When building an architecture, and forward looking strategy for availability and performance monitoring selecting a strategic provider is often a good plan. This eliminates the need to do all of the integration and technology selection yourself, especially in areas with limited business value (normally associated with fault monitoring technologies). The research note I have published discusses these approaches, and also performs a rating of the vendors who provide these larger technology packages. In addition to those vendors I have included some of the growing or emerging vendors who are building a more complete vision of availability and performance monitoring. This research takes the following technology category types:

Thoughts on Picking and extending a strategic availability and performance monitoring vendor

Thanks for the latest research notes Jonah. Working with some of the largest banks and telcos out there, Netuitive would agree with you 100% that these companies don’t have heterogeneous environments. That’s why Netuitive has had such great success using advanced IT operations analytics to analyze and correlate all these data sources – including business metrics. If you haven’t seen it, this case study video shows one of our customers doing exactly this, correlating data from Oracle OEM, CA APM, CA eHealth, and Compuware. People are solving the problem you describe today very successfully with Netuitive.
